Seasonal changes (age 8+)
Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season
Suggested ages 8–9
Learning journey
Your child is exploring weather and climate by collecting and displaying weather data, learning to distinguish between daily weather patterns and long-term climate conditions in different regions around the world.
Evidence of understanding
- Collect and organise weather data in a table (temperature, precipitation, cloud cover)
- Create a graphical display (bar chart, pictogram) showing weather patterns for a season
- Use the data to describe typical weather conditions for that season and compare with other seasons
Assessment prompt
Can Seasonal changes (age 8+) collect weather data over several weeks, put it in a chart, and use it to describe what weather is typical for that time of year?
